The Jane Austen book is DEFINITELY worth a read, especially for those of us who have children of college age or close to college age or high school age or whose children take the SAT or whose husbands work in colleges...the commentary on How To Get Into the College of Your Choice is hilarious.As for Jane Austen...I would have enjoyed it more without the JA title. I kept comparing the story line and saying, "But that's not how it went!"

I'm glad I came back! I didn't know you had answered my question. I would have been living in oblivion.The reason I came back was to apologize. I didn't mean to indicate that your diet or you were unworthy! But, I'm just such a lazy bum that anything with a bit of complexity is more than I want to do. Sigh. This whole "denying yourself" bit is a bother. It shows up in all areas: weight, holiness, relationships... (That's my flesh talking, of course!)
